18 | DESCRIPTION | |
19 | ----------- | |
0b444cdb | 20 | Usually you would want to use 'git push', which is a |
483bc4f0 | 21 | higher-level wrapper of this command, instead. See linkgit:git-push[1]. |
5cb545fa | 22 | |
ba020ef5 | 23 | Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and |
ab9b3138 | 24 | updates it from the current repository, sending named refs. |
2a245013 JH |
25 | |
26 | ||
27 | OPTIONS | |
28 | ------- | |
3240240f | 29 | --receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>:: |
ba020ef5 | 30 | Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote |
2a245013 JH |
31 | end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote |
32 | repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in | |
33 | a directory on the default $PATH. | |
34 | ||
3240240f | 35 | --exec=<git-receive-pack>:: |
1c262bb7 | 36 | Same as --receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>. |
d23842fd | 37 | |
3240240f | 38 | --all:: |
9553d20b | 39 | Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update, |
5c633a4c | 40 | update all heads that locally exist. |
9553d20b | 41 | |
26be19ba JK |
42 | --stdin:: |
43 | Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there | |
44 | are refs specified on the command line in addition to this | |
45 | option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those | |
46 | on the command line. | |
47 | + | |
bcf9626a | 48 | If `--stateless-rpc` is specified together with this option then |
26be19ba JK |
49 | the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must |
50 | be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet. | |
51 | ||
3240240f | 52 | --dry-run:: |
a63103ae BE |
53 | Do everything except actually send the updates. |
54 | ||
3240240f | 55 | --force:: |
ab9b3138 JH |
56 | Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that |
57 | is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it. | |
cf6cac20 | 58 | This flag disables the check. This means that |
ab9b3138 JH |
59 | the remote repository can lose commits; use it with |
60 | care. | |
61 | ||
3240240f | 62 | --verbose:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
63 | Run verbosely. |
64 | ||
3240240f | 65 | --thin:: |
738820a9 SB |
66 | Send a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based |
67 | on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic. | |
18bd8821 | 68 | |
4ff17f10 RS |
69 | --atomic:: |
70 | Use an atomic transaction for updating the refs. If any of the refs | |
71 | fails to update then the entire push will fail without changing any | |
72 | refs. | |
73 | ||
30261094 | 74 | --[no-]signed:: |
a81383ba | 75 | --signed=(true|false|if-asked):: |
66697fe4 DB |
76 | GPG-sign the push request to update refs on the receiving |
77 | side, to allow it to be checked by the hooks and/or be | |
30261094 DB |
78 | logged. If `false` or `--no-signed`, no signing will be |
79 | attempted. If `true` or `--signed`, the push will fail if the | |
80 | server does not support signed pushes. If set to `if-asked`, | |
81 | sign if and only if the server supports signed pushes. The push | |
82 | will also fail if the actual call to `gpg --sign` fails. See | |
83 | linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] for the details on the receiving end. | |
66697fe4 | 84 | |
511155db BW |
85 | --push-option=<string>:: |
86 | Pass the specified string as a push option for consumption by | |
87 | hooks on the server side. If the server doesn't support push | |
88 | options, error out. See linkgit:git-push[1] and | |
89 | linkgit:githooks[5] for details. | |
90 | ||
2a245013 JH |
91 | <host>:: |
92 | A remote host to house the repository. When this | |
ba020ef5 | 93 | part is specified, 'git-receive-pack' is invoked via |
2a245013 JH |
94 | ssh. |
95 | ||
96 | <directory>:: | |
97 | The repository to update. | |
98 | ||
23bed43d | 99 | <ref>...:: |
9553d20b JH |
100 | The remote refs to update. |
101 | ||
102 | ||
76a8788c | 103 | SPECIFYING THE REFS |
9553d20b JH |
104 | ------------------- |
105 | ||
106 | There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the | |
107 | remote end. | |
108 | ||
0a4f051f | 109 | With the `--all` flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred to |
ab9b3138 | 110 | the remote side. You cannot specify any '<ref>' if you use |
9553d20b JH |
111 | this flag. |
112 | ||
bcf9626a | 113 | Without `--all` and without any '<ref>', the heads that exist |
9553d20b JH |
114 | both on the local side and on the remote side are updated. |
115 | ||
26be19ba JK |
116 | When one or more '<ref>' are specified explicitly (whether on the |
117 | command line or via `--stdin`), it can be either a | |
6cc668c0 | 118 | single pattern, or a pair of such patterns separated by a colon |
df8baa42 | 119 | ":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A |
cf6cac20 | 120 | single pattern '<name>' is just shorthand for '<name>:<name>'. |
ab9b3138 | 121 | |
9553d20b | 122 | Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon) |
ab9b3138 | 123 | and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be |
9553d20b JH |
124 | pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source |
125 | side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the | |
ae36bdcf | 126 | destination side. The rules used to match a ref are the same |
0b444cdb | 127 | rules used by 'git rev-parse' to resolve a symbolic ref |
483bc4f0 | 128 | name. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]. |
9553d20b | 129 | |
ab9b3138 JH |
130 | - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the |
131 | local refs. | |
9553d20b | 132 | |
6cc668c0 | 133 | - It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote ref. |
9553d20b JH |
134 | |
135 | - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either | |
136 | ||
df8baa42 | 137 | * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the |
9553d20b JH |
138 | destination literally in this case. |
139 | ||
df8baa42 | 140 | * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not |
9553d20b JH |
141 | exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src> |
142 | locally is used as the name of the destination. | |
143 | ||
bcf9626a | 144 | Without `--force`, the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if |
ab9b3138 | 145 | <dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an |
cf6cac20 EN |
146 | ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as the "fast-forward check", |
147 | is performed to avoid accidentally overwriting the | |
148 | remote ref and losing other people's commits from there. | |
ab9b3138 | 149 | |
bcf9626a | 150 | With `--force`, the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs. |
ab9b3138 JH |
151 | |
152 | Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign | |
153 | to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref. | |
